Tonight's elimination on Dancing With the Stars was definitely an eye-opener, but as the number of pairs dwindle down, we should expect shocking dismissals. And this was just the first one.

After receiving a perfect score last night, Sabrina Bryan was given the boot (coincidentally, at the same point of the competition as the first time around), but she's definitely not going to leave the show on a sour note.

"It's tough, you know what I mean? It just feels like déjà vu, when are we gonna wake up from this nightmare? But at the same time, last night was incredible. It was so amazing. It was such an experience and I feel so grateful to even have this chance on the show again," she tells E! News.

Regardless, Bryan—who said she knew when she was walking down the stairs tonight that it was going to be her last night—was humbled to be part of the first ever season of All-Stars. "Still, no matter what, this journey is amazing."

In other news, what's going to happen with Shawn Johnson now that her partner Derek Hough is suffering from a neck injury?!

"Derek's at a doctor's appointment right now. He's taking the week to rest up, get every doctor to look at him and kind of look things over. Mark [Ballas] is stepping in for rehearsals right now," Johnson tells us.

"Derek will still be there to choreograph and kinda oversee, but Mark will be doing the movement. And then, depending on the injury, depending on how he feels, it's up in the air as to whether he'll be on the show Monday or not."

Shawn added, "If anybody were to step in, it'd be Mark. I love Mark and I love Derek. I cheated on Mark the first time, now I'm cheating on Derek. It's kind of a weird triangle going on."
